Bylah has been a character in TEF for 2 & 1/2 years. It's a little mindblowing, when I think about it.
Because part of me wonders, 'have I really been here this long? Have I really wasted this much of my life on a deer, a character, that is not real?'
And I realize that's a rather fatalistic way to look at things, but above all else, I am a realist. I see things for what they are - not what they could be, not what they shouldn't be. Just what they are.
This is the way it is. Cut, dry, simple.
Fitter. Happier. More productive.
And then I realize that 2 & 1/2 years of my life have been spent with most of you people, in some way or another. And I know that in that time, we haven't always gotten along.
I tend to be upfront, honest, and downright blunt. Alexsander once said about me that she found me intimidating, that I wielded my wit and words against hypocrisy and unfairness. That I often called people out that others wouldn't. I can see where that may have made people unhappy with me, where I probably made enemies because I did that.
I suppose I just wanted to say though, that despite that, I never did it out of spite, per se. I've never attacked anyone because I didn't like them.
Because for two and a half years I've been part of this community.
And so have all of you.

When I first joined, you were
Your writing was marvelous, and as a writer myself, that only made you stand out all the more.
Still, you always did intimidate me, not because you were so blunt, not because you were a realist. But because I always feared that maybe I would get shot down in my attempts to befriend. So I always stood in the background, quietly commenting and watching.
I can easily say that I look up to you, and that you've always been what I consider a 'pillar presence' here, meaning I cannot even imagine what it would be like if you had never been on TEFc.
Thank you for being an inspiration and generally awesome person~
Happy two and a half years L~
